Tell me more about your sun sail. I need to shade the sunlight coming in through the doors and I'd love a sail, but I don't know how I'd attach it.

It's tied to carabiners / snap hooks attached to hooks mounted on my outside wall, and then tied to the frame of my gazebo on the other side. Depending on what you have to attach it to it can be very easy or a bit of a hassle. If you don't have anything to attach the other side to, you can drive down a tent pole or a post, but it needs to be pretty solid to handle the wind.

Thanks! That sounds doable. I would have to do the pole/post thing, shouldn't be a problem. I live near to a sail maker, so I could even maybe get an old sail, or splash out on a bespoke one.
